Ken Graveney

John Kenneth Richard "Ken" Graveney (16 December 1924 – 25 October 2015) was an English first-class cricketer from Hexham, Northumberland, who played for and captained Gloucestershire.

Graveney was a lower order left-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler of outswingers.

He played less in 1950 and 1951, however, because of fitness problems with a slipped disc, and this back trouble forced him to retire from first-class cricket after the 1951 season.

With a talented side of bowling all-rounders, including the England players David Smith, John Mortimore and David Allen, Graveney bowled very little and at a very gentle medium pace and batted low down the order.

His brother Tom and his son David both had long cricket careers with Gloucestershire, and both captained the county.
